WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in
EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it
is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg
while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is
important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond
versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The
blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
– kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned
saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
– when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing
down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly
back toward the operator;
– if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at
the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position
your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to
either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
